Maybe she was a Hekawi Indian.

Did spending 1.0 Million and taking down 3 statues help resolve the black family crisis?
(Yes, I see the sarcasm.)
History directed at thread readers:
Sacajawea was Shoshone, and had been captured and probably enslaved by another tribe.

“Sometime before the fall of 1804 Sacagawea was purchased for a wife by Toussaint Charbonneau”
“Lewis and Clark first met Charbonneau when he came to offer his services as a translator to the captains. They engaged both him and his wife both as interpreters — but primarily it seems since she spoke Shoshone, which he did not. There was some expectation the explorers would meet the Shoshone the next summer. Charbonneau did not speak Shoshone, nor English for that matter. The Shoshone, also called Snakes, were known as horse breeders of the mountains, and the explorers were planning to trade for horses.”
Snip
“Sacagawea died on December 20, 1812 at Fort Manuel on the Missouri river in South Dakota. Trader John C. Luttig was there and wrote “this evening the wife of Charbonneau, a Snake Squaw, died of a putrid fever she was a good and the best woman in the fort, aged about 25 years. She left a fine infant girl.”
So Sacagawea was twice a slave, once seized as a child in a raid, then sold to a husband, and it was probably the descdendents of slaves that tore down her statute. She was also described as “a good and best woman in the fort”, and we know how the left hates goodness!
(Both of her children were sent to St. Louis where they were raised by evil white man Clark.)
Maybe she was a Hekawi Indian.
I think the guy on the left is Leslie West in an early version of the band
Take a walk.
Sheesh........
We made our own circle.
Time to take down Charlottesville. It’s an affront to humanity and decency.
" On the very first page of Lewis’ personal journal kept on the trip, he recounts how he demonstrated the weapon’s capabilities to the wonderment of the crowd. The Indians, he said, considered the rifle “something from the gods.”
